Lesson Plan Title : Power Point Spelling

Overview and Purpose : The following spelling lesson can be as straight-forward
or silly as you want to make it. Be creative! The more interesting the game,
the more engaged your students will be.

Objective: The student will be able to correctly identify which
word in a group of four is spelled correctly.

Resources:

Power Point slides - each with a list of four words spelled similarly but
only one is correct

Two flyswatters

Activities:

Divide the class into two teams. Have one student from each team stand
at a desk. Give them each a flyswatter and tell them that when they know
which word is spelled correctly they should slap the desk. Put up a slide
that lists one word that is spelled correctly and three others that have
similar spellings but are misspelled. Ask the student who slapped the desk
first to tell you which word is correct. If he is right, he earns one point
for his team and two more players come up. If he is wrong, the other student
has a chance to answer. If he is wrong also, no points are awarded and two
more players come up.

Closure:

Students can create the slides for this game. They can work individually
or in pairs to create sets of words they think will fool their classmates.
